Vacation at your own expense may be the day of dismissal. Calculation upon dismissal after vacation without pay

Going on vacation with subsequent dismissal on own will- this is the right of the employee, enshrined in the Labor Code. To have labor inspectorate there were no complaints, the personnel officer and accountant must follow the procedure in strict accordance with the requirements of the law.

Many people prefer to take the opportunity to take a break before looking for a new job instead of financial compensation for unused vacation days. However, leave with subsequent dismissal has a number of features. Let's look at these features, describe how to provide leave with subsequent dismissal, how to draw up documents correctly. We will answer popular questions on this topic.

About leave with dismissal

He speaks of the possibility of taking a vacation with subsequent dismissal of his own free will. At the written request of the employee, unused vacations may be granted to him with subsequent dismissal.

The first important clause of the legal rule: the provision of rest is excluded if the employee is fired for guilty actions. Take due days before termination employment contract only a conscientious and disciplined worker can. List of guilty actions for which it is impossible to use vacation days in return for compensation, - in article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The second important caveat: characterizing the employee’s right to leave with subsequent dismissal, Article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation uses the wording “leaves can be granted”, which means that the employer is not at all obliged to provide the employee with rest before terminating the contract. The head of the organization has the right to refuse even a conscientious employee and pay compensation in return for unused days. Or provide for rest only part of the prescribed period, and compensate for the rest of the time financially. Clarifications on this matter were given by Rostrud in Letter No. 5277 6-1 dated December 24, 2007.

It turns out that an employee can take a chance to rest before looking for a new job only by mutual agreement with the management.

Two ways to go on vacation before leaving

The first option: the employee leaves to rest according to a pre-approved schedule, having written a statement of his own free will before this or already being on vacation. At the same time, he can take time off both pre-planned days according to the schedule, and those days that he did not have time to use before.

The second option: the employee writes an application for rest at the same time as an application for dismissal of his own free will. In this case, the established schedule can not be followed.

The date of termination of the employment contract under Article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is considered in any case the last day of rest.

But the management can accept a new employee in the place of a leaving employee immediately, without waiting for the rest to end.

Application and order for leave with subsequent dismissal, registration procedure

The employee usually makes 2 statements:

  • on leave with subsequent dismissal;
  • dismissal with reasons.

And the management draws up 2 orders:

  • on granting leave (based on the first application of the employee);
  • on termination of the employment contract (based on the second application).

It is also allowed to draw up one application from an employee: you can write an application for a vacation with subsequent dismissal of your own free will - this does not contradict the norms Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

But when using unified form documents, the employer still issues two orders, because the form of a single order has not been officially established. Order forms that can be used are documents of the form T-6 (T-6a) and T-8 (T-8a), recorded in the Decree of the State Statistics Committee of 01/05/2004 No. 1. The original is attached to one of them as a basis, and to the second - a copy of the employee's application. Forms of orders must be approved by the company's management as accounting documents.

The second option for management is not to use unified forms, but to develop an order form on your own. Then you can issue both actions in one order. The main thing is that it contains the required details of the primary accounting document.

Example: Dudnikova I.N. takes 28 days of rest from 04/17/2018 and quits. She receives the work book and the calculation in her hands on April 16 - the last working day before leaving. She will be officially dismissed on 05/16/2018 - on the last day of rest. Please note that two more non-working days have been added to the main days holidays— 1 and 9 May.

Popular questions

Employees who plan to take a break before they leave are often worried about issues related to registration and payment. We will answer the most popular of them.

Can they get fired while on vacation?

Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer during rest is not allowed. Except in cases of liquidation of the company or termination of the activities of the individual entrepreneur.

Can I quit my job while on vacation?

Quit by own initiative during the rest period is possible. The main thing is to comply with the deadline for filing an application for termination of an employment contract (2 weeks). Moreover, by agreement with the authorities, a two-week period can be bypassed.

Is it possible to go on vacation with subsequent dismissal without working off

Often, employees believe that they cannot quit at this time, since they are required to work for two weeks before leaving, so they often ask the question: how to go on vacation with subsequent dismissal without working off. However, the Labor Code does not contain the concept of "working off 2 weeks before dismissal." Part 1 Art. 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states: “to warn the employer in writing at least 2 weeks before. It is quite possible to warn the authorities about the intention to quit, while being on vacation. You are not required to be present at the workplace for the next 2 weeks.

When will the money be paid

The employer is obliged to pay wages and vacation pay, as well as issue a work book and other documents to the employee before terminating the employment contract. In the dates of payment of vacation pay and wages there is some discrepancy in the final calculation. The money will be paid to you three days before going on vacation (Article 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). And the RFP and documents must be issued on the last day before leaving. These payments are not part of the salary. It turns out a small spread in the days of payment of vacation pay and wages, which is inconvenient for both employees and employers. But these are the calculation rules established by labor legislation (Article 136, Article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Failure to do so will result in a fine for the employer.

Do they withhold wages for unworked days

The employee is given 28 calendar days rest according to the general rule, regardless of whether he managed to work out the prescribed year. But only those days are paid that would be subject to compensation upon termination of the contract. Therefore, yes, if an employee received full annual paid leave, but did not have time to work out the time allotted for it, upon dismissal from his RFP, the corresponding amount will be withheld. These are the explanations of Rostrud in the Letter dated December 24, 2007 No. 5277-6-1. True, they can withhold no more than 20% of the amount ( Art. 138 Labor Code of the Russian Federation). And in some cases, holding is generally prohibited (more on this in Art. 137 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The provision of an incomplete rest period (as many days as the employee managed to earn in the working year) is not provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, although it is possible by agreement of the parties.

To make it clearer, let's take an example.

Dudnikova I.N. wrote an application for leave for 28 calendar days with dismissal. And in the last working year, she worked only 10 months and 12 days (since 12 days is less than half a month, the period is rounded down. If the employee worked 10 months and 16 days, they would be counted as 11 months). For 10 months worked Dudnikova I.N. supposed to rest: 28 days / 12 days × 10 months. = 23.3 days. Cash at the final settlement, she was entitled to only 23.3 days, but paid for all 28 days.

It turns out that the employee did not manage to earn 28 - 23.3 = 4.7 days in the working year, but she received payment for them. If the vacation pay received in 28 days amounted to 10,000 rubles, then the following amount is to be deducted from Dudnikova's salary: 10,000 rubles. / 28 days × 4.7 days = 1678.57 rubles.

Leave followed by dismissal

Attention

Each employer approves such a schedule no later than 2 weeks before the start of the calendar year. This means that no later than December 17 of the current year, a vacation schedule for next year(Article 123 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). If the employee is going on vacation according to the schedule, then it is not necessary to take an application from him for the next vacation.


In this case, it is necessary 2 weeks before the start of the employee's vacation or earlier, send him a notice of vacation against signature (Article 123 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). There is no approved form for such notification, so the employer has the right to decide how to notify the employee (Letter of Rostrud dated July 30, 2014 No. 1693-6-1). In addition to the notification, it will be necessary to issue an order to grant leave to the employee or employees in the form No. T-6 or No. T-6a, respectively (approved by


Decree of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated 05.01.2004 No. 1).
Vacation with subsequent dismissal: how to draw it up correctly In the timesheet in the form of No. T-12 or No. T-13 (approved by the Decree of the State Statistics Committee of 01/05/2004 No. 1), the days of leave preceding the dismissal are reflected as ordinary "holiday" days:

  • if this is the main paid leave, then the letter code "OT" or the numeric code "09" are indicated;
  • if the employee is on additional paid leave, then in the report card you need to put "OD" or indicate the digital code "10".

If holidays fall on vacation time, then, as we have already noted, they do not reduce the duration of the vacation, and therefore they are reflected in the time sheet as ordinary days off with the letter code “B”, which also corresponds to the digital code “26”.

Calculation upon dismissal after vacation without pay

Important

Based on the new working year, you calculate compensation according to the formula below. If an employee worked in the organization for less than 11 months in a working year, then for this year he is entitled to proportional compensation (clause 35 of the Rules approved by the USSR CNT on April 30, 1930 No. 169). That is, in this case, determine the number of unused vacation days in proportion to the time worked:


If the employee has worked for more than half a month, then this month must be taken as a full month. If an employee has worked less than half a month, then do not take this month into account at all. This rule is established by paragraph 35 of the Rules, approved by the CNT of the USSR on April 30, 1930.


№ 169.

When calculating the compensation associated with the dismissal of an employee, take into account all his main and additional unused vacations for the entire time he worked in the organization (Article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The right of an employee to receive compensation does not depend on the reason for his dismissal. For those who work under civil law contracts, compensation for unused vacation don't count.

This is due to the fact that such employees are not entitled to annual leave (Chapter 19 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For more information, see Who is entitled to paid annual leave. Despite the fact that, as a general rule, the right to receive leave in kind arises no earlier than six months after starting work in a new organization, those employees who have worked for less than six months can also claim compensation for vacation pay upon dismissal (Rostrud letter dated October 31 2008
No. 5921-TZ).
If the employee has worked for more than half a month, then this month must be taken as a full month. If an employee has worked less than half a month, then do not take this month into account at all. This rule is established by paragraph 35 of the Rules, approved by the CNT of the USSR on April 30, 1930.
No. 169. In individual cases full compensation is paid if the employee worked in a working year from five and a half months to 11 months (clause 28 of the Rules approved by the USSR CNT on April 30, 1930 No. 169). In particular, full compensation is paid upon dismissal of an employee in the event of:

  • liquidation of the organization;
  • reduction in the number or staff of the organization's employees;
  • conscription for military service;
  • recognition of an employee as completely incapable of work according to a medical report.

Labor Code of the Russian Federation the time when the employee did not actually work, but the place of work (position) was retained for him (for example, the time of annual leave or maternity leave, non-working holidays and weekends) the time of parental leave, except when the employee while working on a part-time basis, forced absenteeism during illegal dismissal or suspension from work, if in the future the employee at work is restored the vacation time at his own expense, exceeding in total 14 calendar days per working year the period of suspension from work of the employee who did not pass the mandatory medical checkup through no fault of their own, the time of "administrative" leave at the request of employees.
The period of 14 calendar days is included in the length of service for the provision of annual paid leave; The remaining period of 40 calendar days is excluded from the length of service giving the right to leave. It is for this period that the working year of your employee is shifted by 40 days. 06/23/2013-06/22/2014 (+ 40 days) - 08/01/2014 In this case, in orders for granting leave, you will need to indicate: for the working year from 06/23/2013 to 01/08. 2014. If the duration of leave without pay was 180 days (half a year), then only 14 days of them are accepted as work experience, and the working year is shifted by 166 days. Based on your question, the employee worked for a year and did not use vacation. Accordingly, he is entitled to compensation for 12 months of work, i.e. full duration leave - 28 calendar days.
At the same time, during the working year, the total duration of holidays at one's own expense should not exceed 14 calendar days. hazardous conditions labor. When calculating the length of service in months, surpluses that make up less than half a month are excluded from the calculation, and if more than half a month, they are rounded up to a full month (clause 35 of the Rules on Regular and Additional Leaves, approved by the NCT of the USSR on April 30, 1930 No. 169). For example, an employee was hired on 03/10/2017, the date of dismissal is 06/01/2018.
The number of full months for the period from 03/10/2017 to 05/09/2018 is 14. Surpluses in the amount of 23 days (from 05/10/2018 to 06/01/2018) are rounded up to a full month. In total, the total work experience with the employer is 15 months (14 + 1).

The main difference is that during your absence you will not receive a salary, seniority will also not be accrued. However, at the end of your absence, you can return to your workplace and resume work.

If you plan to be absent for a long time, for example, about a year, then another employee may be hired to replace you and fired after you return to duty.

If, after receiving a refusal, the employee nevertheless goes on vacation, then this can be regarded as absenteeism. And this may be the basis for terminating the employment contract for the basis of paragraphs. “a”, paragraph 6, part 1, article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Appeal ruling of the Moscow City Court dated January 30, 2013 in case No. 11-2971).

8. Is it possible to quit on vacation at your own expense?

  • Only in some cases, dismissal during the vacation period at your own expense is possible:

If the employee wrote a letter of resignation on his own initiative ( Art. 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

If there is an agreement between the employee and the employer ( Art. 78 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

If the organization is liquidated or the individual entrepreneur ceases to operate ( Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In other cases, the employer is not entitled, on its own initiative, to dismiss an employee who is on vacation, including on leave without pay.

9. Can an employee take early leave at their own expense?

  • The Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not regulate the procedure for early exit of an employee from vacation without pay.
  • If an employee is the initiator of early exit from vacation at his own expense, he must write an application addressed to the head of the organization. In case of consent, the employer issues an appropriate order.

For instance, the wording of the order may be as follows: “Consider August 10, 2017 as the day the end of the leave without pay. E.E. Skauzov to start work on August 11, 2017. Reason: statement by E.E. Skauzov on August 8, 2017.

  • Familiarize yourself with the order of the employee under the signature. If the employer does not agree, he puts his resolution of disagreement on the application.
  • If the employer is the initiator, he must notify the employee of the recall from vacation at his own expense. On the notification, the employee will put his mark on whether he agrees to go to work early or not.
  • Upon receipt of consent, the employer issues an order to recall the employee from vacation without pay.

For instance, the wording of the order may be as follows: “In connection with the production need to recall researcher E.E. Skauzov since August 10, 2017”. Familiarize yourself with the order of the employee under the signature.

In both cases, in section VIII of the employee's personal card, clarifications are made on the actual duration of the vacation.

10. Is unpaid leave extended on non-working holidays?

  • Non-working holidays do not include, when calculating calendar days, the annual basic or annual additional paid leave in accordance with Part 1 Art. 120 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
  • But this rule does not apply to vacations that employees take without pay.

Therefore, if non-working holidays fall on unpaid leave, then they are included in the number of calendar days of such leave. That is, when calculating the days of rest in this case, it is not necessary to extend their number for non-working holidays.

11. Can I provide a vacation at my own expense for a few hours?

  • V Part 1 Art. 128 Labor Code of the Russian Federation it is stated that the duration of such leave is determined by agreement between the employee and the employer.
  • At the same time, all types of vacations in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are provided in calendar or working days, in particular:

Annual basic paid leave - 28 calendar days ( Part 1 Art. 115 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

Annual additional paid leave for employees with irregular working hours - at least 3 calendar days ( Part 1 Art. 119 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

Paid leave for employees who work in seasonal jobs - 2 working days for each month of work ( Article 295 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

  • Due to the fact that the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for holidays in days, it is also more expedient for companies to provide employees with holidays at their own expense in days, not hours.
  • In the Internal Labor Regulations, the employer can fix the following provision:

For instance, “For family reasons and other valid reasons, the Employee may be granted unpaid leave for the number of working days agreed with the Employer, if this does not lead to violation of the deadlines and disruption of current work to which the Employee is directly related. The employee must notify the manager in a timely manner of granting such leave. structural unit with observance of the order of service subordination. Leave without pay is granted on the basis of a written application of the Employee and is issued by order (instruction) CEO. By agreement with the head of the structural unit, unworked work time The employee can make up during the accounting period.”

That is, one day the employer will put down the employee in the report card, for example, 6 working hours, and on the other day, when he makes up for these unworked hours, 10 hours. All changes in the working time schedule must be agreed in writing to avoid conflicts. In the application for leave without pay, the employee can indicate the day when he is ready to stay at work.

12. How to reflect the period "vacation at your own expense" in the report card?

  • In the time sheet, the vacation period is indicated depending on the type of such vacation. So, to designate a period of unpaid leave, put:

Letters BEFORE or number 16 if the employee asked for leave for family reasons and other valid reasons;

Letters OZ or number 17 if the leave is the responsibility of the employer;

Letters DB or number 18 if the leave was granted under a collective agreement

The length of service that is calculated for the provision of annual paid holidays depends on the duration of unpaid leave.

13. How does a vacation at your own expense affect the vacation experience?

  • Vacations at their own expense, which are provided at the request of the employee, are included in the length of service, which entitles them to the annual basic paid leave. But only in the part that does not exceed 14 calendar days during the working year ( Art. 121 Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
  • If an employee rested more than 14 calendar days at his own expense, his working year is shifted by the number of days of excess.
  • Days of unpaid leave are excluded from the calculation period when calculating average earnings. This exception does not depend on the duration of the rest ( sub. "e" p. 5 of the Regulation on average earnings, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2007 No. 922).

The period of stay on such a vacation does not participate in the insurance period, which is considered when assigning a pension ( Part 1 Art. 10 federal law dated December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ).


Do you have any questions? Ask for free consultation to our experts!

The Labor Code does not regulate many issues related to the provision of unpaid leave. Can an employee take such leave with subsequent dismissal? Can an employer withdraw an employee from vacation at his own expense? Are vacations cumulative if the employee is entitled to them for several reasons? The answers to these and other questions are in the article.

Before considering the 10 most interesting situations related to the provision of unpaid leave to employees, let's talk about the types of such leaves and the features of their provision.

Three types of vacations at your own expense

Unpaid leave is granted on the basis of written applications from employees. Holidays can be roughly divided into three types. These are vacations, the provision of which:

- right of the employer;

- his duty;

- the obligation of the employer, if it is established in a collective agreement or industry agreement.

What types of vacations are included in each of the above types?

Vacation at own expense for family reasons and other valid reasons

The employer may (but is not obliged) to provide such leave to the employee on the basis of his written application. The duration of the leave is determined by agreement between the employee and the employer (Article 128 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). That is, in order for the leave without pay to take place, a written application from the employee and the consent of the employer are required.

Leave without pay for the privileged category of employees

The employer is obliged to provide such leave in accordance with the provisions of Part 2 of Article 128, Articles 173 and 174 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Law of the Russian Federation of January 15, 1993 N 4301-I “On the Status of Heroes of the Russian Federation and Full Cavaliers of the Order of Glory” and federal laws:

- dated 09.01.97 N 5-FZ "On the provision of social guarantees to the Heroes of Socialist Labor and full holders of the Order of Labor Glory";

- dated 27.05.98 N 76-FZ "On the status of a serviceman";

- dated 06.05.2011 N 100-FZ "On voluntary fire protection";

- dated 02.03.2007 N 25-FZ "On municipal service in the Russian Federation";

- dated July 27, 2004 N 79-FZ "On the state civil service of the Russian Federation";

- dated 10.01.2003 N 19-FZ "On the election of the President of the Russian Federation";

- dated 18.05.2005 N 51-FZ "On the election of deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation";

- dated 12.06.2002 N 67-FZ "On the basic guarantees of electoral rights and the right to participate in a referendum of citizens of the Russian Federation."

To provide this type of leave, the consent of the employer is not necessary, only a written application from the employee is necessary.

Additional leave at own expense for carers

The provision of such holidays is an additional guarantee for employees with children. The categories of persons who may be granted such leave are listed in Article 263 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The condition for the provision of these holidays must be provided for in the collective agreement or industry agreement.

Additional leave is granted upon a written application of the employee at a convenient time for him. This leave can be added to the annual paid leave or used separately in whole or in parts. The Labor Code does not allow to transfer it to the next working year.

The right to additional leave without pay is granted to employees-parents from the year the child is born to the year the child turns 14 or 18 years old inclusive (Article 263 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Note.Leave is granted to both parents - employees of the same organization, regardless of whether it is used by the second parent or not (Article 263 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Ten questions about vacation at your own expense

Now consider the 10 most interesting situations related to the provision of unpaid leave to employees.

Question N 1. Is it possible to provide forced leave?

Can an employer, on its own initiative, send an employee on leave without pay?

Labor legislation does not provide for forced leave at one's own expense at the initiative of the employer.

If the employee, through no fault of his own, cannot perform the duties stipulated by the employment contract, the employer is obliged to pay him this time as downtime .

Note.The replacement of downtime through no fault of the employee with forced leave at the request of the employer should be considered illegal.

According to part 1 of article 157 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, downtime is paid in the amount of at least 2/3 of the average salary of an employee.

An employer who, on his own initiative, sent an employee on leave without pay, violates labor and labor protection legislation and may be held administratively liable. For this violation, an official may be fined from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles, and an organization from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles. (part 1 of article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Instead of a fine, an administrative penalty may be imposed on the organization in the form of suspension of activities for up to 90 days.

Note.Repeated violation official labor legislation entails his disqualification for a period of one to three years (part 2 of article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Question No. 2. Is it possible to provide leave at your own expense on two grounds?

How many days of leave without pay can an employee take if he is entitled to such leave at once for two reasons, for example, as:

— working pensioner (14 calendar days);

— combat veteran (35 calendar days)?

Leave without pay is not cumulative. The employee can only count on the longest vacation possible. In our case, up to 35 calendar days (as a combat veteran) (part 2 of article 128 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) (see table on p. 108).

By analogy with additional holidays without saving wages to persons caring for children (Article 263 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), the specified leave, upon the written application of the employee, can be attached to the annual paid leave or used separately in whole or in parts. The transfer of this leave to the next working year is not allowed.

Question N 3. Can I refuse to grant leave at my own expense?

Can an employer refuse to grant an unpaid leave to an employee?

If an employee belongs to a privileged category of employees who, in accordance with the provisions of articles 128, 173, 174 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and federal laws, the employer is obliged to provide leave without pay, the employer has no right to refuse him such leave.

But he has the right to refuse to provide the employee with leave at his own expense for family reasons and other valid reasons, if this may adversely affect the activities of the organization.

Moreover, the employer may regard the unauthorized departure of an employee on leave without pay as absenteeism. In this connection, the employment contract can be terminated on the basis of subparagraph "a" of paragraph 6 of part 1 of Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Appeal ruling of the Moscow City Court dated January 30, 2013 in case No. 11-2971).

Question No. 4. Is dismissal allowed during the vacation period at your own expense?

Can an employer fire an employee during unpaid leave?

Such dismissal is possible only in certain cases:

- if the initiative comes from the employee himself (Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

- an agreement has been reached between the employee and the employer (Article 78 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

- the organization is being liquidated individual entrepreneur terminates its activities) (part 6 of article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Note.In other cases, the employer is not entitled, on its own initiative, to dismiss an employee who is on vacation, including on leave without pay.

Question N 5. Is it allowed to leave the vacation at your own expense ahead of schedule?

Can an employee take early leave at their own expense?

The Labor Code does not regulate the procedure for early exit of an employee from vacation without pay.

The initiator is an employee. If an employee is the initiator of early exit from vacation at his own expense, he must write an application addressed to the head of the organization.

Note.The issue of early retirement is decided by agreement between the employer and the employee.

In case of consent, the employer must issue an appropriate order. The wording of the order may be as follows: “Consider June 17, 2013 as the day the end of vacation without pay. E. E. Skauzov to start work on June 18, 2013. Reason: E. E. Skauzov’s statement dated June 11, 2013.” The employee must be familiarized with the order against signature.

If the employer does not agree, he puts his resolution on disagreement on the employee's statement.

The initiator is the employer. If the employer is the initiator, he must notify the employee of the recall from vacation at his own expense. On the notice, the employee will express his agreement or disagreement.

Upon receipt of the consent of the employee, the employer issues an order to recall the employee from vacation without pay. The wording of the order may be as follows: “In connection with the production need to recall researcher E.E. Skauzov from June 18, 2013 from vacation without pay.” The employee must be familiarized with the order against signature.

In both cases, in section VIII of the employee's personal card, clarifications are made on the actual duration of the vacation.

Question N 6. Is the vacation extended for non-working holidays?

Is it necessary to extend unpaid leave for the period of non-working holidays?

According to part 1 of article 120 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, non-working holidays are not included in the number of calendar days of the annual main or annual additional paid leave.

But the effect of Article 120 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not apply to holidays without pay. Therefore, if non-working holidays fall on unpaid leave, then they are included in the number of calendar days of such leave, without extending it.

Example 1. An employee wrote an application for leave without pay from June 1 to June 19, 2013 (19 calendar days). This period includes a holiday non-working day on June 12. On what day the employee should go to work - June 20 or 21?

Solution. A non-working holiday on June 12, which fell on the period of leave without pay, is included in the period of such leave, without extending it. The employee must return to work on June 20.

Question No. 7. Is a leave granted at one's own expense for several hours?

Labor law does not establish a minimum or maximum duration of unpaid leave. Part 1 of Article 128 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the duration of such leave is determined by agreement between the employee and the employer. At the same time, all types of holidays according to Labor Code are provided in calendar or working days, in particular:

- annual basic paid leave - 28 calendar days (part 1 of article 115 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

- annual additional paid leave for employees with irregular working hours - at least three calendar days (part 1 of article 119 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

- Paid leave for employees engaged in seasonal work - two working days for each month of work (Article 295 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

It is more expedient to provide the employee with leave at his own expense in days, and not in hours.

In the Internal Labor Regulations, the employer may fix the following provision: “For family reasons and other valid reasons, the Employee may be granted leave without pay for the number of working days agreed with the Employer, if this does not lead to violation of the deadlines and disruption of current work, to which The employee is directly related. The Employee must promptly notify the head of the structural unit of the provision of such leave in compliance with the order of subordination. Leave without pay is granted on the basis of a written application of the Employee and is issued by order (instruction) of the General Director. By agreement with the head of the structural unit, the employee can make up for unworked working time during the accounting period.

That is, one day the employer will put down the employee in the report card, for example, 6 working hours, and on the other day, when he makes up for these unworked hours, 10 hours.

All changes in the working time schedule must be agreed in writing to avoid conflicts.

In the application for leave without pay, the employee can indicate the day when he is ready to stay at work.

Question N 8. How to reflect the period of "vacation at your own expense" in the report card?

How to reflect the period of vacation without pay in the time sheet?

In the time sheet, the vacation period is indicated depending on the type of such vacation. So, the period of leave without pay:

- provided to the employee for family reasons and other valid reasons with the consent of the employer, is indicated in the report card with the letter code DO or digital 16;

- the provision of which is the responsibility of the employer, is marked in the report card with the letter code OZ or digital 17;

- provided in accordance with a collective agreement or industry agreement, in the report card is marked with the letter code DB or digital 18.

The duration of unpaid leave is important not only for recording the attendance at work in the report card. The length of service calculated for the purpose of granting annual paid holidays depends on it.

Question N 9. How does a vacation at one's own expense affect the vacation period?

How does the duration of unpaid leave affect the length of service for annual paid leave?

Vacations at their own expense, provided at the request of the employee, are included in the length of service, giving the right to the annual basic paid leave, but only in part not exceeding 14 calendar days during the working year (paragraph 6, part 1, article 121 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) .

If an employee used a vacation at his own expense lasting more than 14 calendar days, his working year is shifted by the number of days in excess.

Example 2. E. E. Skauzov has been working at Liverpool OJSC as a researcher since March 12, 2012. Every year, as a combat veteran, he takes an unpaid leave of 35 calendar days. In 2012, he took the specified vacation from October 1 to November 4. How will this affect the calculation of the length of service that gives the right to annual paid leave?

Solution. In the first working year of an employee (from March 12, 2012 to March 11, 2013), out of 35 calendar days of unpaid leave, only 14 calendar days will be included in the work experience for vacation (paragraph 5, part 1, article 121 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The start of the employee's second working year will be shifted by 21 calendar days (35 calendar days - 14 calendar days). Therefore, his second working year will be from April 2, 2013 to April 1, 2014.

Note that the days of unpaid leave are excluded from the billing period when calculating the average earnings, regardless of its duration (subparagraph “e”, paragraph 5 of the Regulation on average earnings, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2007 N 922).

In addition, the period of stay on such a vacation is not included in the length of service taken into account when assigning a pension (part 1 of article 10 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ).

Question No. 10. Can an employee take a vacation at his own expense with subsequent dismissal?

The Labor Code does not provide for the provision of unpaid leave with subsequent dismissal. There is such a norm only for unused paid holidays - basic and additional (part 2 of article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In practice, employers often apply this rule to holidays at their own expense by analogy (determinations of the Moscow City Court of February 15, 2013 N 4g / 7-788 / 13 and of December 6, 2011 in case N 33-40058).

According to Rostrud, the employer can grant the employee leave with subsequent dismissal, but this is his right, not his obligation (letter dated December 24, 2007 N 5277-6-1).

Note. Leave followed by dismissal

When granting leave with subsequent dismissal, the day of dismissal is considered the last day of vacation (part 3 of article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). It is the last day of vacation that the record of dismissal in the work book of the employee should be dated. Moreover, the last day of work will be the last day the employee goes to work. That is, in fact labor Relations with the employee are terminated with the start of his vacation (Determination of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of January 25, 2007 N 131-O-O and letter of Rostrud of December 24, 2007 N 5277-6-1).

As you can see, in this case, the concepts of “day of dismissal” and “last day of work” do not coincide. This means that it is necessary to give the work book and make a full settlement with the employee before he goes on vacation - on the last day of work (part 5 of article 80, articles 84.1 and 127 of the Russian Federation).

When granting leave with subsequent dismissal, the employee has the right to withdraw his application for dismissal before the start of the vacation, if another employee is not invited to his place in the transfer procedure (part 4 of article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

An alternative to dismissal at the end of unpaid leave may be the dismissal of an employee of his own free will. Only in this case, he must notify the employer about this in writing no later than two weeks in advance (part 1 of article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The employment contract may also be terminated before the expiration of the specified period, if the employer does not object to the dismissal of the employee (part 2 of article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Note.The specified period begins the next day after the employer receives the employee's application for dismissal (part 1 of article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

On the day the employment contract is terminated, the employer is obliged to issue a work book to the employee and make settlements with him in accordance with Article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (part 4 of Article 84.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Since the employee does not work on the day of dismissal, the employer is obliged to send him a notification about the need to appear for a work book or agree to send it by mail (part 6 of article 84.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The employer is obliged to make settlements with the employee no later than the next day after the employee's demand for settlement is presented (part 1 of article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
